I have several tubeless lawn tractor and lawn tractor implement tires. that always go flat. I am assuming the beads leak because sometimes on the tractor it won't leak down if the tire is parked in a certain position, but when the valve stem is behind the spindle, it always goes flat, when it is the hardest position to get to. So I bought some bead sealer, new stems, and a stem puller from Miller Tire and a small tire changer from Harbor Freight to fix these tires. My question is how do you use the bead sealer and a mounting lubricant at the same time? Do you lube the tire, install it, remove the lube, apply the sealer, then inflate?</p><p style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; color: #333333;"><br></p><p style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; color: #333333;">Brian</p><blockquote type="cite">On April 10, 2019 at 11:56 AM Stephen Offiler <soffiler@gmail.com> wrote: <br> <br><div dir="ltr">Absolutely.

However, If I had them mounted, it would be nearly $500, so I think I made a pretty good day's pay. Due to the difficulty or expense of mounting tires, I will only buy new when replacing tires. Do it once and forget it.... As I said before, stay away from SPEEDWAY tires...They do not fit.. I spent over $250 in tubes and lost over $200 in alcohol fluid due to these tires... <br> _______________________________________________ <br> AT mailing list <br> <a href="mailto:AT@lists.antique-tractor.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AT@lists.antique-tractor.com</a> <br> <a href="http://lists.antique-tractor.com/listinfo.cgi/at-antique-tractor.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">http://lists.antique-tractor.com/listinfo.cgi/at-antique-tractor.com</a> <br></blockquote></div>_______________________________________________ <br>AT mailing list <br>AT@lists.antique-tractor.com <br>http://lists.antique-tractor.com/listinfo.cgi/at-antique-tractor.com <br></blockquote></body></html>
